By the way, my head is 23 and a half inches around.
My father was a basketball.
I went looking for a hat in the mall.
I want a bowler! But, dude, what a waste of time. The only place was this monument to lameness called "Lids" which was all this played-out hip hop and sports shit. Oh, yeah….hook me up with a pristine, fluorescent white baseball cap that I can wear crooked on my head! Hey, throw in some comically baggy pants and garish bling while you're at it. I love 2003!
Lids are for jars, you fuckheads. So I still don't have a bowler.
Sigh :(
Hi Michael, I just wrote a post on Steve Jobs from my point of view. Could you read and let me know?
I liked it :) Other people should check it out. Anyway, I posted a link to that other article because it was something a bit more honest than the blind hero worship I've been seeing. Jobs was not a supporter of free speech, nor of labor rights, and that's why I don't think he was this great saint. He was a pretty good businessman and a great product innovator. Personally, those are two qualities that don't wow me all that much.
Things I have learned watching romantic movies.
Deleted scenes are deleted for a reason
Everyone's drinking Pepsi Big Gulps except for the people watching the movie
Uncut! or Unrated! doesn't mean sex. At best it means 3 seconds of tit
If you find (uncut) or (unrated) in small print down at the bottom, it means sex. For reals
Nerds are just gorgeous people in conservative clothing and glasses
Ugly girls are just gorgeous girls with their hair up
Ugly girls who are really gorgeous girls with their hair up will transform into gorgeous girls toward the end of the movie by letting their hair down
If there's a man and a woman who hate each other, at some point they will fuck (but not show it to you)
If there's a man and a woman who are friends, at some point they will fuck (but not show it to you)
If it says Uncut! or Unrated! they will most certainly not show it to you.
Nice, sensitive guys actually get girls
Popular kids are always evil
He will get the girl
He will win
Nobody works
Unless they're going to meet a love interest at work, in which case it's a generic office-type place
The woman who can't seem to meet the right guy has been practically tripping over him for 47,000 years and never realized it
He's probably gorgeous, genuinely likes her, and is planning her wedding.
Seriously, he isn't gay or anything
What Everyone Is Too Polite to Say About Steve Jobs*
*basically, that he was a fascist dick.

Biometry
Expostulate about the pointlessness
Duplicated but self-referential
Viciously futile and in that sense
It spreads and spreads
Nothing useful may do something harmful
It survives simply because it survives
Fundamentally suggesting only the arrangements
The world willy-nilly
Mischievous or evil
By-products or symptoms
Sometimes manifestations of pure malice
Designed to kill us or make us suffer
People humming and whirring
The whole elaborate paraphernalia
Is enough to understand
First that every second is identical
Who manufactures those humans?
Elephants, cherry trees, and mice?
Flowers put into the world?
We are closing in on a definitive answer
You will understand that I wish to leave you
More roundabout, analogous
An essential part of the efficient
Execution of message

likewise, a national sales tax would crush the middle and lower classes. The rich are the ones waging class war. And winning.
Yep. one of those 9's in Cain's 9-9-9 plan is an across the board nationwide sales tax, 9 cents on the dollar. Making everything 9% more expensive is not a problem if you're RICH.

Flat tax.....

Flat tax.. flat tax is simply more fair. whether his works is correct… don't know.. but some sort of flat tax WILL work.
A flat tax is UNFAIR. If you take 10% from someone who earns $10,000 a year, you leave that person with only $9,000. If you take 10% from someone who earns a billion dollars a year, you leave them with 900 million. How is that fair? Just because it seems like it's the same? Wrong. Ask a person who only has ten grand to live on each year if making him give one grand of that away is fair. This is what Cain's dumbass plan would do. People who only earn ten grand don't pay taxes, but President Cain would make them. Additionally, the amount the very wealthy would pay in taxes would greatly decrease. Herman Cain is heartless fuckhead.
"Former Federal Reserve board member Herman Cain's...
"Former Federal Reserve board member Herman Cain's ridiculous "9-9-9″ proposal, which would reduce taxes on corporations and the wealthy while simultaneously raising them on the poorest Americans is not much of an answer. It's simplistic, to be sure, and therefore seems like a good idea to the flaccid-headed tea party drones being hauled around in gleaming corporate buses because, you know, they're such a grass-roots movement and all."
